Arctic Convoys, 1941–1945

By Richard Woodman

This gripping account illuminates the untold story of Allied merchant ships and their crews who risked their lives in the treacherous Arctic during WWII. Battling relentless U-boat attacks, aerial bombardment, and extreme conditions, these brave sailors delivered vital supplies to Russia, a lifeline without which the Eastern Front might have collapsed. Told from their perspective, this is a tale of "sheer heroism and brazen drama" (Literary Review) that reveals the immense sacrifice behind a crucial, often overlooked, chapter of the war.
